Features: This book is divided into two volumes. The first volume primarily introduces object-oriented (including procedural) programming, while the second volume focuses on message-oriented visual software design and development. The C++ language is used for the explanation. The first part (Chapters 1-7) of the first volume serves as the foundation and introduction, mainly covering basic concepts and presenting the "platform" of software development, giving readers a general understanding of the computing discipline and the role of this course. The second part (Chapters 8-31) focuses on C++ programming, gradually explaining how to conduct program design and development using the HIS (Hospital Information System) example. The second volume will elevate HIS to a software perspective for design and development. The feature of this book is to first present "problems," directly address "problems," then "abstractly analyze" the problems, and finally explain how to "design" and "solve" them. It helps readers understand the differences and connections between object-oriented and procedural approaches, showcasing the entire process of "producing" software, enhancing systematic thinking and abstract problem-solving skills. If successfully completed, readers should master the basic knowledge of software design and develop fundamental abilities in creating visual application software. It should also help improve interest in software development, raise awareness of science and professionalism, and boost confidence. The first volume of this book is suitable as a textbook for C++ programming courses in computer science, software engineering, and related disciplines. Both volumes are suitable as textbooks for software development foundation courses in computer science and software engineering. Since the book is filled with practical examples and implementations, it is also very suitable for self-learners.
